Two 18-hole courses on the plain between Zell am See and Kaprun
On the plain between Zell am See and Kaprun this club runs two 18-hole courses, Schmittenhöhe and Kitzsteinhorn, making it one of the larger golf complexes in Austria. Both lie in a flat, parkland setting with lakes and reed beds and suit a range of abilities.
Schmittenhöhe opened in 1984 to a design by Donald Harradine and is a par 72; it measures 6,262 m from the white tees and 5,253 m from the red. Sources disagree on par and length for Kitzsteinhorn, so ask the club. The season runs from April to November.
